Town Buildings Maintenance Committee
The Town Buildings Maintenance Committee (BMC) is an advisory body in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, tasked with the stewardship of the town's physical assets.

- Facility Planning: Develops scopes of work for structural repairs, energy-efficient lighting upgrades, and site improvements at locations including Town Hall, Town Highway Garage, the Fire Station Building, Historical Society Building, and the Union Meeting Hall.
- Strategic Maintenance: Differentiates between routine maintenance (handled via individual building budgets) and long-term capital projects to ensure efficient use of town funds.
